This is the output of authtest:
# /usr/lib/dovecot/authtest andre
userdb: andre
uid   : 1001
user  : andre at cubeholding.com
home  : /var/mail/cubeholding.com/andre
extra fields:
 username=andre
 domain=cubeholding.com
 mail=maildir:~/maildir/:LAYOUT=fs:INDEX=~/indexes/

This is the relevant part of dovecot -a:

namespace:
 type: private
 separator: /
 prefix: 
 location: 
 alias_for: 
 inbox: yes
 hidden: no
 list: yes
 subscriptions: yes

It does not seem to me that the problem is the one you pointed out, even if I think you pointed in the right direction
